Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Allen fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let LeQuint Allen slide, and the Ravens were the ones holding the card at pick 213. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If Frazier pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In the 27th overall pick they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trey Amos at No. 59 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Burch. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at pick No. 128 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
They read the board right and Billy Bowman Jr. was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick176 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in Round 5, Pick 37 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No edge and no loss on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 178th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick185 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at slot 185 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at pick 205 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick213 Rnd6 LeQuint Allen
The board fumbled LeQuint Allen all the way to Round 6, Pick 35, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Andrew Armstrong
Andrew Armstrong at the 245th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
